Carrier Pickup: USPS SCAN form
SCAN = Shipment Confirmation Acceptance Notice
At the time of Carrier Pickup for USPS, the SCAN form is generated by Endicia and a print dialogue will display, and the store can print OK to print the form.
The short story
- All USPS packages with a tracking number (accountable mail) that you have created with your Endicia account, will be included in the single scan of the barcode on the PS5630 form (the SCAN form).
- Note: First Class Mail letters and Flats are not included on the SCAN form unless they include certified.
- The driver scans the barcode on the SCAN form.
- Those packages show as picked up and in the mail stream.
- Typically, only packages shipped that day will be included on the SCAN form. If a store has an issue with packages shipped the day before (after their carrier pickup), the store needs to contact Endicia to ask to be placed on a manual SCAN form, instead of automatic.
- A store can re-print the last generated SCAN form under Tools > Re-Print > Previous USPS Scan Form.
